Hi, saw these twice at Chelsea today but still can't work out what they are from the lists I brought home, love them and hoping they'll cope with dry shade as they were planted with foxgloves. And they were quite tall.
Can anyone help? Thanks
ps-anyone else thinking Chris Beardshaw was robbed with just a Gilt?

They are Thalictrum. they will cope with shade, but prefer a moist soil.
When you don't even know who's in the team
S.Yorkshire/Derbyshire border
Possibly Thalictrum aquilegifolium Thundercloud.

Thanks all
Much appreciated
Could be Thalictrum Black Stocking
Thalictrum Black Stocking is so named because the stems are black.
Not sure it fits with pic posted by 8000wildflowers
Its Thalictrum aquilegifolium. Self seeds everywhere, a great plant.
I had Thalictrum aquilegifolium in my last garden, and was thrilled to find one growing in a clump of aquilegias here, 5 years later. The seed must have been down there all that time since the move.
Thank you all!!
